3D Game Programming

CHAPTER 20

Project: River Rafting

For our final project, let’s build a river-rafting game in which the player needs

to navigate the raft along a river, dodging obstacles and picking up bonus

points where possible. The game will look something like this sketch:

We’ll also add a few goodies of our own.

20.1 Getting Started

We start by creating a new project in the ICE Code Editor. We use the 3Dstarter

project (with Physics) template and call it River Rafting.

We’ll want a scoreboard for the game, so let’s insert a new line after line 4,

just before the plain <script> tag, and add the following:

<script src="http://gamingJS.com/Scoreboard.js"></script>

When you’re done with this chapter, you will

• Have made a full 3D game


• Be able to add scoring to games


• Understand how to warp shapes into
  something new
